Etihad Airways has introduced a new enhancement to its Etihad for Business (EYB) platform, enabling corporate clients to redeem EYB credits for carbon offsets directly through the EYB portal. The option is being done in collaboration with CarbonClick, a New Zealand–based climate technology company that provides carbon offsetting solutions for individuals and businesses.
Javier Alija, vice president global sales and distribution, said, “This enhancement provides our corporate clients with a practical tool to assist in achieving their voluntary environmental commitments.”
By integrating carbon offsets directly into Etihad for Business, said Alija, “we simplify the process for corporate clients to be aware of their emissions associated with business travel and choose to take steps in support of climate action through their everyday travel management.”
Earlier this year, Etihad launched the fully digital Etihad for Business corporate program, streamlining the airline’s comprehensive business travel solution into a single, intuitive online portal.
Through this portal, corporate clients can manage their travel, access contract details, track spend and redeem credits for a wide range of benefits. In the coming year, the portal will offer more advanced features such as automated performance reports, transparent tiering requirements, real-time analytics and simplified contract management.
In addition, corporate clients will be able to redeem credits for upgrades, priority services, lounge access, excess baggage and now — carbon offsets.
